Thank you so much Jan.
I have one reading left this year, next week, in Exeter -in the Events tab on this blog.
But you can also hear some recordings on the Listen tab at the top of this page.
With good wishes as ever
Anthony

I always read your blog – mostly first thing in the morning, 7 a.m. It sets me up for the day, even prompts some writing of my own. Fellow feeling sometimes, mostly learning new stuff, expanding my narrow horizons although that list of American blogs was as frightening as a thick novel. And this morning your first secret reminded me of my depression-busting enjoyment of stationery which I’ve always considered odd. But second secret – ‘I adore NCIS’ – that’s my secret! I don’t tell people that. I didn’t know anybody who likes that . I’m sure it has a therapeutic effect on me but I don’t know why or how and wouldn’t want to explain it to anyone. Well! that has occupied my mind for an hour now, time to open the curtains and let the world in. At least it isn’t snowing. Semper fi. 😉

“I needed four goes to get Maths O level”
I needed almost as many. The third time I had FIVE marks to spare. Triumph. But why was it so difficult? I still don’t understand, but tend to blame the teaching. I still get qualms about having to tip/give change/anything to do with calculations, and am generally ashamed of my lack of numeracy.
